Brother of Benedict VIII, John was born Romanus and was a layman at the time of his election in 1024. On the day of his consecration, he rose rapidly through the clerical ranks. In 1027, he crowned Conrad II Holy Roman Emperor and is supposed to have considered recognizing the primacy of the see of Constantinople for a tidy sum. Outraged Roman clergy quickly put an end to that idea. John died in 1032/33.
To all our readers, Please don't scroll past this.
Today, we humbly ask you to defend Catholic Online's independence. 98% of our readers don't give; they simply look the other way. If you donate just $5.00, or whatever you can, Catholic Online could keep thriving for years. Most people donate because Catholic Online is useful. If Catholic Online has given you $5.00 worth of knowledge this year, take a minute to donate. Show the volunteers who bring you reliable, Catholic information that their work matters. If you are one of our rare donors, you have our gratitude and we warmly thank you.
